Freezing String Beans


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 418 Posts

String beans growing in the garden.In the past, I only canned string beans until I found that they are also good frozen. The taste and texture is different, but they are really good sautéed in a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

When I prepared these for freezing, I forgot to save out some to cook for supper so I sautéed a few that I had blanched. They were very tasty. No leftovers for another meal.

Usually when cooking fresh green beans, I simmer them in salted water and a little bacon drippings. We like them prepared both ways.

To freeze:

  1. Select young tender green beans.

  2. Wash them and cut the ends off. A batch of string beans being blanched.
     

  3. Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. A batch of string beans being blanched.
     

  4. Cool and drain. A batch of string beans after being blanched.
